Otherwise it's "he said, she said" imo. Again - cockpit gossip of the worst kind. Some times I think each and every pilot has a 13 year old "gossip-girl" hidden inside just waiting to come out.
To be honest I don’t know if Norweigen paid tax on these tickets but if I were a gambler I’d put my money onto the side of them not paying tax. Isn’t that why they wanted you to position in uniform?
Same goes for the BKK crew who they’d ship in, in economy, and have them fly on the Europe-USA routes.
Just my humble opinion and again, I’ve got friends in Norwegian, they knew the score and I obviously have sympathy for them. It could be any of us tomorrow.
